Although over the past three years I've lost nearly 120lbs, I can only seem to focus on the 15 that grad school and the utter happiness of falling in love again have brought back to me. I so admire your acceptance of yourself in the here and now instead of the "where I want to be" which is the only place I can seem to find that acceptance. You are a true inspiration girl! Beautiful inside and out, and with an adorable new do to boot! Go, girl, go!!! <br />The Little Blog That Canhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17804546703581592549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044626958556917859.post-49770188668335299402014-04-05T22:04:36.824-04:002014-04-05T22:04:36.824-04:00Ever since I was fortunate enough to be not only y...Ever since I was fortunate enough to be not only your English teacher but also your track coach in high school,I have had an absolutely unshakeable respect and admiration for you, sweet Sarah. You so define beauty that when I think of the word "beautiful", your face comes into my mind. I know how hard you work, because I was privileged to see it up close and personal. Weight is just a number on a scale, and perish the thought that any of us would ever calculate our value by that number. I avoid the scale like a plague because I might let it control what I think of myself on any given day, and besides that, you and I both know that we're pure muscle and muscle weighs more but takes up less space! You are always gutsy and inspiring, and I just had to let you know that once again you have plucked my heart strings with your beautiful melody of words. I have never had time or money to be a gym regular, but that motivates me to come up with my own workouts that I enjoy. Over the past 2 weeks, I've spent almost every waking minute with my precious Mom who suffers from late stage dementia/Alzheimers, and I'd just arrived home when I read your post. I've already changed into my workout clothes, and tonight as I'm doing my favorite intervals in my den to the sound of my favorite CD, I'm going to be thinking of you! I can only imagine what my little 100-lb Mama would say to each of us. . . I think she'd remind us of our beauty inside and out, and beg us to embrace life and love! I love you, Girl. You are the BOMB!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13878852573442187164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044626958556917859.post-59924862533508112222014-04-02T12:57:51.408-04:002014-04-02T12:57:51.408-04:00This one made me sad, yet hopeful for you to embra...This one made me sad, yet hopeful for you to embrace the "quote". I hope and pray your goal to accept your body, will be totally successful. You are so beautiful and real to me, so intelligent, have a sparkling personality, deeply spiritual, and you have such a wonderful and precious family...immediate and extended, and a cadre of close friends. You are the most healthy person I know! I pray for you to have the peace you so deserve!<br /><br />I LOVE YOU,<br />MomMomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044626958556917859.post-82138720458917467532014-04-02T05:44:50.000-04:002014-04-02T05:44:50.000-04:00Never saw your blog before...but what a beautiful ...Never saw your blog before...but what a beautiful message. I, too, would work out and still maintain a "high" weight - about the same as you. I SOOO appreciate you sharing this - it is so affirming to realize other people are thinking/ feeling the same fears. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
